I saw this sleeper on Scoobynet a while back and thought it was fake. I then saw it at Donnington Renault World Series and at Santa Pod where it managed a 12.3.

Unfortunately my photography skills ain't the best, but here goes.



The engine is an audi and gives out around 340bhp.
sorry, I've only got one picture.

With all due respect, a few people seem to be missing the point: if it's got big arches, big wheels , bonnet vents etc then it ain't a sleeper. loving the volvo.
here's mine
